Core question from Agile Marketing Class
Yesterday I taught an agile marketing class at Carnegie Mellon's Silicon Valley MBA program. As I teach, I usually learn a lot from the student's questions.
One of the questions from this class was:
What's the real difference between digital marketing and traditional marketing? Is it just that one is done online with more data?
Great question right?
Where of course, there are elements of traditional marketing in digital.
But the fundamental differences are these:
- Digital removes any barriers between you and the client. Typically you are going straight to a client, not going through a seller of a focus group for insight.
- Digital is more of inbound as the overall goal if done right is for people to find you!.
- Digital is about earning trust through multiple touches some that are your brands and some that are from advocates of the brand
Digital disrupts marketing like Uber has disrupted the transportation industry.
What are your thoughts?

The retail industry goes cognitive at SXSW
Anatomy of a cognitive startup - LIVE from SXSW
Every year, SXSW Interactive comes alive. Like a human body, all of these various systems of technology intermingle and create something magical for a few days here in Austin. Today, I had the chance to talk about some anatomy myself: The Anatomy of a Cognitive Startup.
Honoring Robin Carey, a social media legend at SXSW - Saturday 5pm
Today I am pleased to share my condolences related to a well-known social media figure who passed last year. Robin Fray Carey founded Social Media Today, one of the first companies to manage online B2B communities that connect large organizations with people that they want to influence.
Happy International Women's Day !
Today is international women's day. To me, this is a significant day as it celebrates the achievement of women around the world! Women are over 50% of the world's population -- so inclusion is very important to the world. For instance, did you know if there was parity of women and men in the workforce in Egypt that the GDP would go up by 34%?
I am passionate about innovation and study after study shows that diversity breeds innovation.
So today, let's celebrate and commit to parity across the world !
